Making Easy Almond Cherry Bread is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, almond extract, and eggs until well blended.
4. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in cherries and almonds: Gently fold in the halved cherries and sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour batter: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cooling: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
